“A City set on a Hill” is a phrase that became popularized in the American politics, and it emanates from the parable of Salt and Light in the New Testament. In Matthew 5:14, Jesus tells the crowd that was listening to him, “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden” (New King James Version). John Winthrop, an English Puritan lawyer, had a vision for Boston that it would be “A City Set on a Hill.” This is a vision that has over the years been replicated by the United States of America as it has strived to set an example on the world stage as a beacon of freedom and hope for the entire world. The phrase “a city set on a hill” refers to a society that others people will look up to (Morgan 76). By using this phrase, Winthrop describes the Massachusetts Bay colony, which he supposed would turn out to be an outstanding example of Puritan faultlessness. Although this phrase has a religious undertone, it can be used to describe the aspects that the United States ought to emulate.

John Winthrop's dream was for the Massachusetts colony to be respected by the world for how its people give to others in need and for the relationships people in the community had with each other. The Pilgrims and Puritans came to america to practice their own religion. When the Pilgrims arrived in America; they were supposed to be in Virginia. A storm set them off course and they ended up in Cape Cod. The Pilgrims decided to call the area Plymouth, and because there was no government there; they created a new government known as the Mayflower Compact. When the Puritans came 10 years later with John Winthrop. He wanted to make a government that was based around God and one that would be a good example for other colonies to follow in the future.

The major cities of the United States are all very interesting, after I analyzed my decision; I decided to research the great city of Boston, Massachusetts. Boston was founded on September 17, 1630 and has a rich historical background making it a very important city in the United States. “The city of Boston was the home to several important events during the American Revolution such as: the Boston Massacre, Boston Tea Party, the Siege of Boston, Battle of Lexington and Concord, and the Battle of Bunker Hill.” (Snow, Caleb H. (1828). History of Boston. Abel Bowen.) These were all significant events that helped shape the city Boston has become today.

In John Winthrop’s essay “City Upon a Hill”, Winthrop expresses his distinct views on the aims of the Puritans coming to New England. During the early 17th century in Europe, some groups separated from the Church of England. These groups were known as the Pilgrims, who founded Plymouth Colony in 1620. This religion had a direct impact on religious ideas and culture in America. John Winthrop acquired a royal charter from King Charles I and created the Massachusetts Bay Colony. “City Upon a Hill” was written on the ship during the first mass Puritan migration to New England. This document provided the followers with a plan regarding their goals upon arriving in America. Winthrop firmly believes that the people who are willing to be fully

It was a small town in Cornersville, Ohio. Nothing much ever happened in this small town until one day. A new family moved in one afternoon. Everyone was surprised because no one even noticed the house being built. Everyone was still delighted that they moved in because the couple, Bob and Nancy, were very friendly. Bob and Nancy helped with all the activities in town and were very generous. A couple of weeks after they moved in, a lot of strange things began. Money started disappearing, the lights in the town went out every night except for Bob and Nancy's lights, even people's pets went missing. One night, everyone's lights went out at 11:30 as usual, except there was an extremely loud noise. The neighbors went outside to see where all the

This experience has influenced my view of St. Louis stereotypes and residents. This was the first extended amount of time I had spent north of Delmar. As a freshman, I remember hearing, “don’t go north of Delmar” and “never cross the river”; however, this experience has changed my stereotypical view of St. Louis. When I arrived at Walbridge elementary school, I did not know what to expect. The streets were quiet and the neighborhood looked rundown, but I found the school seemed to be an escape from what was going on outside. The school was not only a safe haven for its students, but also their families, and I realized that Walbridge elementary school is so much more than a school. Walbridge

Even though Archbishop Williams is in Braintree, it will feel like a neighborhood school because of its proximity to my house and many people I know attend. I spent a great deal of time in a bus this summer being transported to Beverly, MA for Boston Children’s Theatre summer program, and realized I don’t like commuting long distances. I like the fact that the students at Archbishop Williams live close to the school, giving us a chance to get together socially or for community service

The main idea of this article is how the a Bostonain was agruing with a boy named Malcom about how Malcom rough handling a boy off the street. The mood of image was detrimed, They were detrimed to push the things down the boy throat, they didnt care about what they was doing to the boy they just wanted him to feel pain how the boy off the street felt.

Also, the image shows the rope being tied around his neck and the Stamp Act being on the Liberty Tree. What events does the broadside depict? Well, let me tell you some events that occured. It all started by this boy named Malcom and a Bostonian named George, George didnt like how Malcom was treating this boy off the street so George decdiced to to confront Malcom about it.

It is described as being a wonderful place for families and businesses alike, as well as a place of relaxation and exploration; a utopia, for lack of a better word. The industrial and agricultural community is also a thriving portion of the area and contributes heavily to the local economy and overall sense of brotherhood. I can personally vouch for this same description due to the fact that I lived this area for nearly eight years while I was growing up. Though the snow and weather can sometimes be a bit of a drag, its people are what holds it together; hardworking, caring, genuine people. Upton conveys the fact that he is very focused on serving his district in any way possible. From finding federal grants available to the citizens of each city, and applying to military service academies, to internships for any college student in the area who is interested in politics.

In 1630 John Winthrop, leader of the Puritans who would later establish the Massachusetts Bay colony, delivered his sermon “City Upon a Hill.” In it, he explained to his followers that an individual is one part of a larger body – and the only way that body would survive and prosper was if the individuals worked together.

I have spent copious amounts of time in communities stricken with low socioeconomic statuses, less fortunate than the usual neighborhoods I see in Pikesville. The experiences has engrained a strong moral compass into me, leading me to have a solid goal; of beautifying and bettering areas of destitute.

The Bostonians revolves around Olive Chancellor and Verena Tarrant and Basil Ransom. Basil falls in love with Verena because she is quite different from all the women he knows, —but the irony is that, he is determined about not permitting Verena to continue cultivating the prerogative of independence that gave birth to her originality; hence, this is one of the reasons that James foresees Verena’s tears not to be her last. Basil and Olive both attract towards Verena and later on fall in love with her: the rich Olive takes Verena under her security and gives the training for their cause, while Basil very skilfully wins her heart over; Verena eventually disappears in her lover’s arms, leaving Olive lonely to tackle her crumbled dreams and unfulfilled

Bisbee is a small town 92 miles SE from Tucson Az. This little town is known for a couple of names a mining town and a ghost town. It was given its name in honor of the honorable judge who went by the name De Witt Bisbee. I have many stories I can talk about my little town but if I did I could just create an entire story book for you, but one of the stories I like the most is one of the memorable ones when I was younger. Me and my cousins would wander the streets of Bisbee’s ditches collecting crawdads also known as crayfish and tadpoles just for the fun of it. We would put them in a tank to watch them grow, but neither me nor my cousins knew much about caring for these animals. We knew more how to care for dogs or cats. So eventually they
